Pamela Anderson Takes on the Royals

Written by PETA | July 28, 2011

Pamela Anderson was as perplexed as we were to learn that despite Denmark‘s recent ban on cruel fox-fur farms, some in the country’s royal family still wear fur. Perhaps the Queen is harking back to her girlhood, when fur was integral to the royal robes, but since she enjoys all the other trappings of a modern life, it’s time to lay cruel stodgy fashions to rest. Pam penned a letter to Queen Margrethe II explaining that all fur means animal suffering:

Undercover investigations into fur farms have shown cruelty to animals across the board, from Denmark to the United States. Most fur comes from China, where animals—including dogs and cats—are bludgeoned and even skinned alive for their fur, as seen in this short video. Minister Eva Kjer Hansen of Denmark stated, ‘Mink breeders break animal welfare rules. And that is unacceptable.’ Animals trapped in the wild are no better off: Many suffer for hours and even chew off their own limbs to escape.

Hopefully, Queen Margrethe II will join the scores of leading ladies, including Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni, who refuse to wear fur. Until she does, we have a feeling she hasn’t heard the last from Pam.

i agree the “queen” and all her guards where the typical headdress n its always been bear fur! im sure there has to be a different way , this day and age i would have thought our uk government would have banned this by now its wrong !

I hear a lot about the fur industry, but rarely (if ever) hear anything about the leather industry. Doesn’t it deserve equal time? After all, people seem to refuse to give up wearing leather, because it’s so cool to wear leather, and it looks sexy. It looks better on the animal that was killed for it than it does on a human or a piece of furniture.

For a people that turned their backs on English and European royalty 235 years ago, some Americans spend a lot of time looking over their shoulders at it! Somehow I doubt that Queen Margrethe II, whose name I only know through the PETA site, cares what Pamela Anderson thinks about anything, let alone fur. If the people of Denmark want their Queen to stop wearing fur, let the people of Denmark put the pressure on her. I am concentrating my pressure about being fur free on the people living in and governing my country, the United States of America.

cruelity from humans to animals, is a reflection of nonconcious, please stop these people, humans should care for our planet, animals are a very important thing in our planet, they are not a source luxury, please, change this wrong vision

Animals inhumane treatment just so others can adorn their fur is narcissistic and cruel. Stop this insane way of trying to make a statement. The statement is not a positive one about ones self who wears animal fur.

Help tiger cubs forced to swim + used as selfie props. Tell Dade City’s Wild Things that cubs belong with their mothers!

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
